The Braves don't value on-base percentage as much as other teams, one NL official told Olney (Pence has a .354 OBP). Also read this gem the other day in a KLAWchat: Jason (Atlanta) KLAW, Fredi Gonzales admitted the other day that he had no idea of the OBA of Schafer, Mclouth and Heyward and that he "thought" Schafer's was highest. How can a GM let something like this pass in a day and age when EVERY team employs people to apply advanced statistical analysis? Klaw (2:57 PM) Well, the GM is obviously fine with this. I wouldn't be if I were an Atlanta fan, but the way that lineup is set and the way the roster is used implies that Wren is completely OK with Fredi's (mis)management. --Frustrating.

There is a belief Lee is heading to the Phillies, according to Jack Curry of the YES Network (on Twitter). Meanwhile, Jon Heyman of SI.com says the Phils "look like a very strong candidate to win Lee's services" (Twitter link). UPDATE The Yankees are now "extremely negative" about landing Lee and they believe he is leaning toward the Phillies' offer, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post (on Twitter).

http:MLBTR Looks like the Phillies just went from mystery long-shot to potential front-runners. This is unpleasant. I am not amused.

Just wanted to jump on here and brag that my email question was deemed worthy enough to be read on a Baseball Today podcast by the guru Mark Simon today.  The question wasn't Braves related, but I...

No, not the the Braves in general.  If you read this blog, you are probably pretty committed.  I am talking about something that needs to happen.  Something that should have happened twice...

Neither Buyers Nor Sellers: the Atlanta Braves 2009 Midseason

It seems that the discussion amongst Braves fans has become geared towards buying or selling before the looming trade deadline.  This is to be expected; the Braves are "on the bubble" in terms of...

The Sticky Room for Couch GM's

A-Fraud and Chipper

Now that it has come out that A-Rod did indeed use PEDs, or at least apparently used them, does anybody else remember these comments from Chipper: "I think it will follow him," Jones said....

Why the Braves should sign Manny

Sound crazy?  I thought so myself... But here is the problem.  The Braves can't get pitching.  Their best bet right now is to get Kawakami to establish a presence in Japan.  Bud Derek Lowe,...
